This excellent, innovative reference offers a wealth of useful information and a solid background in the fundamentals of aerodynamics. Fluid mechanics, constant density inviscid flow, singular perturbation problems, viscosity, thin-wing and slender body theories, drag minimalization, and other essentials...
The wings of an aeroplane provide lift. It is the shape of an aeroplane’s wings that allows it to fly. The top of an aeroplane’s wing is curved, while the bottom is flat. Because of the form, air flows faster over the top than under the bottom. As a result, there is less air...

The induced velocities due to these vortices affect the pressure distribution on the wing, so as to induce additional lift force. The lift force, due to the leading and side edge vortices, increases as a nonlinear function of the increasing angle of attack....

Of course we cannot have infinite wings in supersonic flow either and, consequently, with subsonic leading edges we will have induced drag and wave drag. Sweeping a single wing is more advantageous than considering the wing to have two halves, both of which are swept back or swept forward. ...
